In depth

Verdict

A winner at Ayr, Getthepot failed to cope with a hike in the weights at Southwell last time but Bucks Dream ran well for second over a shorter trip here on his handicap bow and Blumen Glory placed at Fontwell recently and both are preferred to Jaunty Viking. FAT SAM separated a couple of subsequent winners when runner-up in a novice hurdle on good ground at Warwick and Chris Down’s charge gets the vote to show further progress now handicapping for the first time.
